RESEARCH LABS
Explore the three research labs: The Selzman laboratory is part of a multi-disciplinary, multi-departmental group focused on understanding both the failing and recovering heart. The McKellar lab is actively studying the mechanisms associated with right ventricular failure and recovery. The Dosdall laboratory is working to determine the role of fibrosis in conduction disturbances and the development of atrial fibrillation. He is also studying the role of the specialized conduction system in the ventricles and the onset and maintenance of dangerous cardiac arrhythmias.
The Dosdall lab utilizes cardiac mapping techniques to investigate the onset, maintenance, and treatments for cardiac arrhythmias. Specific areas of emphasis include understanding the mechanisms of irregular arrhythmias such as atrial and ventricular fibrillation and developing improved translational therapies for avoiding and terminating them.
The Selzman laboratory is part of a multi-disciplinary, multi-departmental group focused on understanding both the failing and recovering heart.
The Selzman lab is housed within the Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery and the University of Utah Molecular Medicine (U2M2) and is located in the Eccles Institute of Human Genetics.
